With constantly rising cost pressures, investments made today must also be able to meet future requirements. The R&S®SMBV100A was developed to satisfy this objective and is setting new standards for this class of instrument.

Future-ready hardware conceptThe R&S®SMBV100A vector signal generator benefits from a carefully planned instrument concept. Depending on the configuration, the instrument can function as a pure I/Q upconverter, a cost-effective signal generator with integrated ARB or an advanced vector signal generator with internal signal generation and realtime capabilities. The instrument concept allows the signal generator to be adapted to the individual task at hand, which reduces the investment required. At the same time, the performance of the individual hardware components provides ample capacity for future applications as well.

Ready for future applications today

RF section with high output level up to 6 GHzThe R&S®SMBV100A is available with options for a maxi-mum frequency of 3.2 GHz or 6 GHz, covering all major frequency bands for wireless communications and other radio applications.

The standard electronic attenuator with integrated over-voltage protection ensures dependable operation of the R&S®SMBV100A – even in challenging production environ ments. The maximum output level is up to 24 dBm in overrange.

Wide RF signal bandwidth of up to 160 MHz with internal signal generationThe wide R&S®SMBV100A RF bandwidth extending up to 160 MHz with internal signal generation is more than adequate for the latest broadband digital standards such as LTE and WLAN IEEE 802.11ac. This bandwidth also of-fers ample capacity for future standards. Since it is easy to import test signals you create on your own, e.g. with MATLAB®, the R&S®SMBV100A is well prepared to gener-ate the signals you will also need in the future.

Customized internal signal generation with optional baseband generator

A dream team: R&S®SMBV100A and R&S®FSV for generating and

analyzing digitally modulated signals.

The one aspect that truly makes the R&S®SMBV100A stand out is its optional baseband generator, which is available in two different versions for different applications:

Version Option Baseband generator

RF bandwidth

1 R&S®SMBV-B10 Baseband coder with realtime capabilities and ARB (32 Msample, extendable to 1 Gsample)

120 MHz, extendable to 160 MHz

3 R&S®SMBV-B51 ARB only (32 Msample, extendable to 1 Gsample)

60 MHz,extendable to 160 MHz

Baseband coder with realtime capabilities for direct signal generation The powerful baseband generator (R&S®SMBV-B10) in-cludes an integrated arbitrary waveform generator as well as a baseband coder that allows signal generation directly in the instrument. Besides realtime generation of signals for user-configurable digital modulation, a multi-tude of digital standards such as HSPA+, LTE, WLAN and WiMAX™ are also supported (option). All signal param-eters are configured directly on the instrument. Even com-plex signals can be generated with only a few keystrokes. Multicarrier test scenarios can also be defined on the instrument itself no matter whether working with different or the same digital standards. Multicarrier power ampli-fier (MCPA) tests and interoperability tests are very easy to perform.

ARB supported by R&S®WinIQSIM2™

Easy interaction with MATLAB®

Optional 80 Gbyte mass memory for storage of signals

The R&S®SMBV-B10 baseband generator thus totally elimi-nates the need to generate test signals using an external computer and transfer them to the vector signal generator. This is especially beneficial in a development environment where fast, easy access to signal parameters is critical during both manual operation and remote operation. This helps to speed up the work flow and minimize develop-ment time.

The realtime coder also enables the user to generate test sequences with a theoretically infinite length, e.g. with simple digitally modulated signals or internally generated digital standards such as 3GPP FDD (downlink) and GSM. This makes bit error rate tests reliable in cases where a sufficiently long test sequence is needed for statistical assessment.

Integrated ARB for playback of precalculated waveformsPrecalculated test sequences are common especially in production environments. The R&S®SMBV100A is also well equipped in this area: Both versions of the base-band generator are capable of playing back precalculated waveforms. When it comes to generating standard-com-pliant signals, the external R&S®WinIQSIM2™ waveform generation software is also available. It supports stan-dards such as LTE, HSPA+ and WLAN IEEE 802.11ac. Proprietary signals and special test vectors (e.g. gener-ated using MATLAB®) can also be played back from the integrated ARB with no problem. The ARB-only version (R&S®SMBV-B51) is recommended in all instances where a cost-saving solution is needed and there is no need to set signal parameters directly on the instrument.

Memory depth of up to 1 Gsample for long test sequencesThe ARB memory can be extended from the standard size of 32 Msample to 256 Msample or even 1 Gsample. This makes it possible to play back long test sequences for realistic measurements on DUTs.

With the optional mass memory (R&S®SMBV-B92) being installed in the R&S®SMBV100A, it is easy to save test sequences in the instrument and recall them for later use without having to retransfer them. This speeds up manual tests and is of course also useful in production applica-tions where numerous test sequences typically must be kept ready for use.

Straightforward signal configuration due to easy-to-use GUIDuring internal signal generation, the R&S®SMBV100A of-fers clear benefits due to its straightforward display and graphical user interface. The signal generator allows intui-tive operation via the block diagram. The context-sensitive help system assists users during everyday work, e.g. when information is needed about individual parameters in the digital standards.

With its internal baseband coder (R&S®SMBV-B10), the R&S®SMBV100A optionally allows users to generate signals covering all major digital communications standards as well as GNSS systems – and without needing any external signal generation software. Alternatively, waveforms can be generated for the digital standards using the external R&S®WinIQSIM2™ software. Besides applying predefined test signals, users also have free access to individual signal parameters. Users can thus generate standard-compliant cellular or wireless signals.

Excellent phase noise ensures low EVM with digital signalsSSB phase noise is a key parameter when it comes to RF generator signal quality. This parameter is important not only in CW applications, but also particularly with digital signals. It has a direct influence on the error vector magni-tude (EVM) of digital signals, which is an important param-eter especially with today’s OFDM-based communications systems such as WLAN IEEE 802.11ac and LTE.

The good signal characteristics provided by the R&S®SMBV100A also include excellent figures for nonharmonics, which are important when making interfer-ence measurements.

High output level compensates for losses in test/ system setupTest signals not only need to be pure; they must have suf-ficient power levels as well. This becomes obvious particu-larly when working with more complex systems in which the actual test setup (cables, switches, couplers, etc.) introduces losses between the generator and DUT. The R&S®SMBV100A can easily compensate for such losses with its high output power. With a specified output power of greater than +18 dBm (PEP) and even +24 dBm in over-range, the instrument delivers unparalleled performance in the mid-range class. This eliminates the need for external amplifiers, which not only drive up costs but also increase the system’s level uncertainty.

High-performance RF for all types of applicationsA well-designed RF unit provides a solid basis for fast, clean digital signal generation. This is necessary to allow reproducible measurements with the digital signals used in development and production environments.

Fast settling time for quicker measurementsIn production as well as in module characterization, numerous test points in the frequency and level domain are scanned. However, scans of this sort are only as fast as the slowest element in the chain. The R&S®SMBV100A makes a solid contribution with switching times of less than 1 ms in the standard List mode, thus helping to reduce the test time. This speeds up tests in development and helps to achieve throughput objectives in production at minimum costs.

Analog modulation for basic measurementsAnalog modulation modes are also required in order to make the R&S®SMBV100A an all-purpose generator. This is why amplitude, frequency and phase modulation are all standard features. The R&S®SMBV100A also offers an internal LF source that can be used as a modulation generator.

The analog modulation capabilities can be enhanced even further with an optional pulse modulator and generator that offers an impressive rise/fall time of typically only 4 ns and a maximum on/off ratio of more than 80 dB.

CW interference and AWGN simulationThe baseband section can also be enhanced with an op-tion for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), which per-mits realistic tests involving noisy signals.

The Noise Only and CW Interferer modes extend the gen-erator’s range of applications. In the Noise Only mode, the R&S®SMBV100A behaves like a defined noise source with adjustable bandwidth and level. The CW Interferer mode allows the internal addition of a CW carrier to the wanted signal, eliminating the need for an additional signal gen-erator. This function is very useful for measuring adjacent channel suppression on receivers.

Analog and digital baseband outputsTo extend the range of applications of the optional inter-nal baseband generators, they have analog differential I/Q outputs as a standard feature. This means that the R&S®SMBV100A can test the baseband section as well as the RF input of a DUT via its analog interface.

Support for the R&S®EX-IQ-Box digital signal interface moduleThe baseband interface also offers an optional digital sig-nal output that operates together with the R&S®EX-IQ-Box. The R&S®EX-IQ-Box makes adaptation to the device under test an easy task because it supports numerous common digital formats. The R&S®EX-IQ-Box is conveniently oper-ated via the user interface of the R&S®SMBV100A.

Low cost of ownership due to simple service concept

Fast on-site servicingThe R&S®SMBV100A has been designed for maximum de-pendability and easy servicing. This helps to maximize up-time in a wide variety of applications, which in turn means lower cost of ownership for the customer.

In addition, customers can choose between calibrating or repairing the instrument themselves or having a certified Rohde & Schwarz service center do the work. This helps customers to minimize downtime and to return the instru-ment to operation again as fast as possible. This is espe-cially critical in production applications.

Long calibration interval (three years) minimizes service costsDue to the stability of the components and modules that are used, the recommended calibration interval is three years. This minimizes the frequency of servicing and helps to save costs and ensure maximum uptime for the instrument.

Straightforward modular design for short repair timesIn cases where repairs are actually necessary, internal error diagnostics help to pinpoint the problem. The design uses a minimum number of modules to simplify and speed up the exchange process. Since all modules have already been fully adjusted, a brief functional check is all that is necessary in order to restore the outstanding characteris-tics of the R&S®SMBV100A. If you also use a power sen-sor such as the R&S®NRP-Z92 to perform a new power level adjustment for the entire instrument, you can further increase the level accuracy.

Key featuresShort switching times of 80 dB on/off ratio

Support for R&S®Pulse Sequencer software

Optional coupling of multiple instruments for generation of phase- coherent RF signals

Prepared for aerospace and defense applicationsThe R&S®SMBV100A offers two choices when it comes to generating typical pulse scenarios. The classic method uses an optional pulse generator and RF pulse modulator for a maximum on/off ratio of typically 90 dB. The other choice involves pulse generation using an I/Q modula-tor and an ARB signal for maximum flexibility in terms of pulse shapes and sequences. The optional R&S®Pulse Sequencer software allows the easy generation of a wide range of realistic pulse sequences. With a high clock rate of up to 200 MHz, it generates pulses with steep edges while also supporting standard frequency hopping tech-niques with up to 160 MHz bandwidth.

Screenshot of the R&S®Pulse Sequencer software.

Rear view of the R&S®SMBV100A.

During measurements on phased array antenna systems, the phase coherence option provides useful support. Mul-tiple generators can be coupled to a common local oscilla-tor to generate the signals needed for beamforming.

If the generator is used in a secure area, built-in sanitizing procedures help to support the clearance procedure. The optional hard disk used to store signal data can be easily removed without opening the instrument. The Ethernet/LAN and USB interfaces can be deactivated to make sure no data can be retrieved from the instrument.
